Sri Lanka Banks’ Association’s Sustainable Banking Initiative (SLBA SBI) and UN Environment Program facilitated Financial Centres for Sustainability Network (FC4S) are co-hosting a webinar on “Sri Lanka: Potential Sustainable Finance Hub for South Asia” on Friday 31 July 2020.
South Asia is among the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change and even marginal increases in flows of sustainable finance to the region could positively impact millions of lives. Sri Lanka has been a key facilitator of intra-regional trade with its cordial relations with all SAARC nations and is established as a regional maritime hub. With plans to establish an International Financial City in the Colombo Port City SEZ, Sri Lanka could play a pivotal role in attracting, scaling and channelling sustainable finance to the region. This webinar is organised to bring together financial sector participants and stakeholders from Sri Lanka and beyond (including regulators and organisations from banking, NBFI, capital market, insurance, chambers of commerce, and research/academic institutions) to identify work being currently carried out at a national level on Sustainable Finance and how Sri Lanka could integrate nationally and connect globally to play a positive role in the region.
